""In 1845 the Sultan of Zanzibar had declared that the export of slaves was forbidden...British & French men-of-war patrolled the coast in search of Arab dhows bringing Negroes from the mainland. But none of this had made any real difference. With a tradition of at least 2,000 years of slaving behind them none of the east coast Arab dealers had as yet dreamed of giving up the trade" (6-7)." 7 hours, 26 min ago

""Age and experience by themselves don't increase your spiritual maturity. Becoming like Jesus doesn't happen incidentally or automatically with the passing of birthdays. Godliness, as 1 Timothy 4:7 says, requires a deliberate discipline. The Discipline of learning transforms accidental learners into intentional learners" (127-8)." Jul 29, 2026 11:38AM

""The Arabs stopped...Someone was shouting - no, lots of people were shouting, but Turnbull couldn't understand any of it. Now the Arabs were shouting too, and there was more shouting, and one of the Arabs raised his G36 and then there was roaring from every direction as the Arabs were caught in a hail of gunfire and shredded before they could get a round off...From the woods, men in camouflage appeared..."

Dinesh D'Souza
“Visiting America in the early nineteenth century, Alexis de Tocqueville observd that 'the sects that exist in the United States are innumerable,' and yet 'all sects preach the same moral law in the name of God.' Tocqueville termed religion the first of America's political institutions, which means that it had a profoundly public effect in regulating morality and mores throughout the society. And he saw Christianity as countering the powerful human instincts of selfishness and ambition by holding out an ideal of charity and devotion to the welfare of others.”
Dinesh D'Souza, What's So Great About Christianity

Dinesh D'Souza
“There is a legitimate argument over whether the death penalty effectively deters violent crime, although my personal observation is that not one of the criminals who have been executed over the years has ever killed again.”
Dinesh D'Souza, Letters to a Young Conservative

Dinesh D'Souza
“America is the greatest, freest and most decent society in existence. It is an oasis of goodness in a desert of cynicism and barbarism. This country, once an experiment unique in the world, is now the last best hope for the world.”
Dinesh D'Souza
